520 1 $a"Tycoon's War tells the story of an epic imperialist duel - a violent battle of the capitalist versus the idealist, money versus ambition, and a monumental clash of egos that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Americans." "Written by Stephen Dando-Collins, this incredible true story, impeccably researched. and never before told in full, is packed with greed, intrigue, and some of the most hair-raising battle scenes ever written. The story of the great tycoon's war reverberates to this day, telling us as much about where America is going as where it has been."--BOOK JACKET.
